ITunes wont sync purchases with my iPod touch?

I have an iPod 5th generation and my boyfriend has an iPod touch, both synced to the iTunes on this computer. He recently bought some songs through his touch on our iTunes account.
on the purchase history, it shows that the songs were bought, and when I go to the song itself in the iTunes store on the computer, it shows the song as being previously purchased. but yet, I cant seem to get it onto my iTunes, even though its showing fine on his touch. I should be able to get it, right?

Did you completly remove and reinstall all Apple software using these instructions:

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Sync problems with my ipod touch

My ipod is 2 weeks old. syncing with my PC worked fine until yesterday when I put a CD into itunes and tried to sync it with my ipod. No sync high lighted therefore it wont sync can anyone help ?

I can't understand this question, can you clarify?
By 'put a CD into itunes' did you mean you were viewing a CD in itunes or you had imported the tracks from the CD into your itunes library?
On what screen were you seeing 'no sync high lighted' and what does that mean?
Do you sync your entire library automatically with your ipod, do you need to select tracks to be automatically synced, or you manually manage your ipod's library?

Mail sync issue with new iPod Touch

I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.
All is being successfully sync'd with the exception of mail. The error box when I click on mail with the iTouch reads - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server mail.me.com failed"
I have an active .Mac account. I can successfully log into "mobileme" via my G5 1.8 dual running OS X 10.5.8. My cable web provider is Comcast in the Middle TN area.
Thanks in advance with any suggestions.

I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.

I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

Why can't I sync songs with my iPod touch on iTunes

I have recently gotten a new computer, so my ipod has to sync with it blah blah blah. So I synced it with my new computer. It seemed that all my music was there until I played my music. Most songs play like normal, but some songs appear as they are going to play but immediately skip to the next song. Confused, I synced it again. This time it completely took the songs off of my iPod. I checked in my library on the computer, and my songs are still on the computer. Relieved, I tried to put the songs back onto my iPod. With the new update, I click and drag. When I drag, It gives my the option of my iPod and my four playlists. It will let me add songs to playlists, but it will not let me put them onto my iPod nor let me add a playlist to my iPod.

What happens when y swipte a song left or figt? A delete button should appear. Just tap it.

Itunes wont load music onto my ipod touch

Ever since i updated to ios 4.3.5 and itunes 10.4, itunes wont transfer my music to my ipod touch 4g. It just says finishing sync and wont do anything else. Please help me

If it is purchased music from iTunes make sure your iTunes is still authorized on your computer.
If it is, try to manually sync the music to the ipod touch. Below is an article that will assist you in doing this.

Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!

I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!

Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music?

Playlist Sync Issues with new iPod Touch 8G

Hi Guys - This my first post. Just got an iPod Touch 8G for Christmas, and I'm
having some issues with Syncíng it and would appreciate some guidance.
I previously used a Sony PSP as my portable music player, and so my music
is organised into folders, with a .m3u playlist for each folder.
To get the music and the playlist onto the iPod, I tried to use the followqing procedure:
1. Downloaded and installed iTunes
2. Registered my iPod and signed up for the iTunes Store
3. Added one of my folders to the iTunes Library
4. Synchronised with my iPod (I selected Manually manage music and videos)
Checked that all the songs were downloaded successfully to the iPod, and
play on the iPOD.
5. Imported the .m3u playlist into iTunes(File->Library->Import Playlist).
Checked it had all items and could play the tracks from the library.
For some reason, the tracks from the folder now appear twice in the
Library after this step.
6. Attempted to sync the playlist to the iPOD. The playlist has 249 tracks,
but for some reason the sync operation fails with error message "Attempting
to copy to the disk 'Joseph Olajubu's iPod' failed. The disk could not be
written to or read from".
The playlist is partially copied, with between 49 and 208 entries (depending on the sync attempt). Playing the songs from the ipod or creating the playlist directly on the iPOD works. Any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried this operation on 2 different computers with similar results. The iPOD has around 4.5G memroy free. Alternatively, is there software like Anapod available for the iPod Touch if this is an iTunes bug?
Thanks in advance for your help

Itunes wont recognize my 4th gen ipod touch but computer will

iTunes refuses to recognize my 4th gen. iPod touch. Both are up to date with software and ive restarted my computer, ipod, and itunes multiple times and done everything ive found online. the computer recognizes it and says its working properly, but itunes does not put it anywhere in the devices. nor can i find it.

You need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to copy photos from photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

Itunes wont sync anything to my ipod nor will it authorize my computer!

I just restored my IPod touch 2 gen and went to sync everything back onto it...but itunes will not sync any of my music nor apps that i have previously bought. The message said i had to authorize my computer but and error always comes up! (-42408) PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi bobamilktea,
May I suggest a clean slate? Try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then download and install itunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now itunes already comes with quicktime but sometimes quicktime doesn't install correctly so, if you need to, you can install quicktime separately from here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
I don't know if this will solve your problem however, I was just addressing the fact that if you uninstalled itunes without the cleanup utility, that the problem is still there despite the uninstall/reinstall. Good Luck!
